Oral Arguments are complete, but it looks as though it's a foregone conclusion. Kobach and the people of Kansas are going to lose and the Sebelius Supreme Court will obligingly remove Chad Taylor's name from the ballot. Since there is no time left to name a replacement, the Democrats will get exactly what they want, a blank line for the Democrat in the U.S. Senate race in Kansas.

The fix is in, apparently.

Wow.. who’d have thought Kansas of all places would be turning blue...

Sad, but not unexpected considering the Sebelius packed court. I have no doubt this was all planned, including the late date as so they don’t have time to name another candidate.

If they do the it'll probably because of this admission on the part of the Secretary of State's attorney: "The Justices seemed to get Kobach’s lawyer to admit that substantial compliance may sometimes be enough. With that concession, there is a relatively easy path to finding the letter substantially complied."

It really doesn't matter. Everyone in the state knows Taylor has resigned; he's down to 6% in the latest polls and dropping fast. In fact it might be less advantageous to the Dems if the court orders his name removed AND force the Dems to name a replacement. That would be more confusing.

If the Court does allow Taylor’s name to be removed from the ballot, what is not clear is what happens to naming a replacement. As I understand it the name must come from a party convention, but the ballots must begin being printed on Saturday.

LOL. The Dems don't want any Dem nominee on the ballot.

Why can’t Kobach and the governor ignore the ruling if it clearly violates the law? If they do not nullify a ruling removing Taylor, then they are accepting tyranny. What is to stop the court from just “ruling” that all handguns are illegal and violate the 2nd Amendment?
